Recurring Tasks

Hi Bevis

Thank you for your question. Recurring tasks are in effect summary tasks already. They roll up a collection of sub-tasks that follow the recurrance pattern you set by using Insert > Recurring task. This means that you can treat them as a regular task - and indent them to form part of other summaries. Be careful though of trying to turn a recurring task into a summary for a group of other tasks as well. If you indent a task below a recurring task MS Project will assume it is part of the recurrence. Since recurring tasks are usually rolled up your new task is no longer visible.

Try to keep your recurring tasks toward the bottom of your plan and treat them as regular tasks. Create separate summaries to group your project into phases.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
